The Public View of Private Health Insurance: This paper describes the private health insurance issue from the perspective of health economics, and therefore identifies aspects that one would expect to find in an informed commentary. The paper then describes the research methods. It gives the results of the content analysis, with a more detailed commentary and interpretation.; Tags: Health Insurance, Health Care, University Of Sydney, Benefits, Healthcare, Vertical Industries, Insurance, Human Resources, Enterprise Software, Software, Business Operations, Corporate Insurance; White papers 2001-07-26
Elastic and Plastic Effective Width Equations for Unstiffened Elements: American design provisions treat unstiffened elements under stress gradients as if they were uniformly compressed for effective width calculations. Australian, British and European design provisions allow accurate calculation of the elastic buckling coefficient, however the same effective width equation for compressed elements is used for elements with stress gradients. In...; Tags: Gradient, University Of Sydney; White papers 2002-05-01
Design Models for Thin-Walled Sections in Bending Containing Unstiffened Elements: This report presents a general design procedure for calculating the moment capacity of sections containing unstiffened elements under stress gradients. The method uses the design equations for calculating both elastic and plastic effective widths of unstiffened elements under stress gradients, based on plate test results, presented in a companion report....; Tags: Gradient, Section, University Of Sydney; White papers 2002-05-01
Strength Curves for Metal Plates in Compression: This report presents a plate strength formulation applicable to metal in general, notably metals with nonlinear stress strain curves, such as aluminum and stainless steel alloys. The formulation is based on a generalized Winter-curve featuring two material-dependent constants. Analytic expressions are derived for these constants so that they can be...; Tags: Formulation, Metal, University Of Sydney; White papers 2002-08-01
Biaxial Bending of Steel Angle Section Beams: The loads applied to angle beams usually act out of the principal planes so that they cause simultaneous biaxial bending about both principal axes. This paper investigates the biaxial bending of unbraced steel angle beams. The biaxial bending of compact equal angles in uniform bending is considered first, and a...; Tags: Beam, University Of Sydney; White papers 2002-09-01

Out-Of-Plane Advanced Analysis of Steel Structures: Attempts to extend practical advanced analyses of the in-plane behavior of 2-D steel frames under in-plane loading to out-of-plane behavior have been largely unsuccessful because of difficulties in modeling the effects of yielded zones, load heights, interactions between twist and axial force and moments, and end warping restraints. This paper...; Tags: Analysis, University Of Sydney; White papers 2002-09-01
Member Strength by Inelastic Lateral Buckling: This paper develops a simple advanced method of designing steel members against out-of-plane failure, in which reduced elastic moduli are used in an out-of-plane buckling analysis to model the effects of high moment, residual stresses, and geometrical imperfections on yielding. The strengths predicted for simply supported beams in uniform bending...; Tags: Strength, University Of Sydney; White papers 2002-09-01
Strength of Fillet and Flare-Bevel Welded Connections in 2.5-mm Duragal Angle Sections: This report presents the laboratory test results on fillet and flare-bevel welded truss connections in 50x50x2.5 DuraGal angle sections. The arc-welded connections between the DuraGal sections and 10-mm hot-rolled steel plates were fabricated using the gas metal arc welding GMAW process. It was found that failures of the fillet and...; Tags: Section, Connection, University Of Sydney; White papers 2001-04-01
A Control Architecture for Robotic Excavation in Construction: This article presents a hybrid control architecture developed for robotic excavation. The lower-level controllers are designed using a combination of sliding mode control and fuzzy logic control. Control strategies at the higher level involve task decomposition in association with state charts, and task execution and verification. Typical machine tasks are...; Tags: Architecture, University Of Sydney, Control Architecture, Machine Task, Tools & Techniques, Strategy, Management; White papers 2004-12-13
The Author as Decision-Maker: An Economic and Legal Analysis of How Copyright Is Allocated, and Why: The paper seeks to preserve real benefits from copyright laws for the authors in whose name they are granted [and] seek to ensure that copyright laws are not mere pretexts for protecting the investment and entrepreneurial initiative of their exploiting partners. The paper deals with a scenario where the employees...; Tags: Entrepreneurial, Copyright Law, Analysis, University Of Sydney, Entrepreneurship, Management; White papers 2003-05-23
Broadening the Horizons of HRM: Lessons for Australia From Experience of the United States: The paper highlights a number of significant challenges facing the Human Resource HR profession in the United States. This may come as a surprise to some who look to the US as an exemplar of best practice in HR. However, Kochan highlights the discrepancies which exist between the 'Best' and...; Tags: U.S., HRM, University Of Sydney, Human Resource Management (HRM), Organizational Structure, Human Resources; White papers 2004-09-01
Rethinking Work and Family Policy: The Making and Taking of Parental Leave in Australia: Despite the continued increase in female participation rates, Australia remains one of only two developed nations in the world without a paid maternity leave scheme. While research interest and public policy debate about paid maternity leave entitlements continues, little is known about the actual utilization of the 52 weeks unpaid...; Tags: Australia, Entitlement, Policy, University Of Sydney; White papers 2005-05-25
Investment Manager Characteristics, Strategy and Fund Performance: This dissertation presents research essays evaluating the performance of managed funds in light of the investment strategy and manager characteristics exhibited by institutional investment companies. An analysis of investment performance with respect to a fund manager's strategy provides important information in determining whether performance objectives have been achieved.
